The Shel Talmy Recordings (2026)

""The Shel Talmy Recordings" is a compilation of songs recorded in 1965 with an American producer based in London, Shel Talmy. There are 21 tracks, including 10 officially unreleased ones. They were made when the singer was the 18-year-old frontman for a band called Davie Jones and the Lower Third. Among the unreleased numbers is "I Want Your Love", a delinquent stomper with the teenage singer in a hormonal ferment as monstrous waves of fuzztone guitar erupt around him. The player is a hotshot session guitarist by the name of Jimmy Page. Bowie didn’t write "I Want Your Love". But the songs on "The Shel Talmy Recordings" that he penned or co-wrote have a similarly raw guitar sound. "You’ve Got A Habit Of Leaving" is a squally plaint at being constantly ditched by a heartless girl, which Bowie remade for his shelved "Toy" album in 2000. "Cupid" is rumbling proto-garage rock in which his wild yelps and cries sound not a million miles from his future friend and collaborator, Iggy Pop. The style resembles The Kinks and The Who, both also produced by Talmy." (Financial Times)
